Features

LearnSmart

LearnSmart is an adaptive study tool proven to strengthen memory recall, increase class retention, and boost grades. Students are able to study more efficiently because they are made aware of what they know and don’t know. Real-time reports quickly identify the concepts that require more attention from individual students—or the entire class.

Video Cases

Two-part video segments featuring real business examples and auto-graded, integrated concept checks help students apply economic concepts to the world around them.

Logic Cases

Auto-graded, multi-part “capstone” exercises available for each chapter designed to help students see connections between key topics in the chapter and think critically about economics.

Case Study

Professor Sam Mirmirani needed to free up the considerable amount of time he was spending grading homework exercises and reviewing assignments. He also wanted his students to take on more responsibility for completing homework, while providing them with a resource to review for exams rather than take up valuable class time for review prior to the midterm and final. By implementing Connect Economics, Professor Mirmirani
has shaved his grading time from 10 hours per week to one hour per week, and his students have ample review opportunities to prepare for exams on their own. Now, Mirmirani reports, he sees far less traffic during his office hours and when students do come to his office, they know exactly what they need help with based on the feedback they receive from Connect.
